Is this another one of those story where the bad guy get caught, but wait! It's a fake out! And then they repeat that ten times over? I might drop it I think, it's not really my cup of tea.
@Antore, it's only 4 volumes, and this is the end of vol 2, so I assume they do catch him eventually. Or 99.99% of the world perishes by nuclear holocaust and the remaining are captured and held hostage in a bunker where they're forced to worship the idol for the rest of their lives. Soon she will become their goddess, and their children will be brainwashed, eventually repopulating the world into the idol's cult.
